What type of holding pattern entry is required if your inbound course to the holding fix is 250 degrees and the holding pattern is a standard right-hand turn holding at the fix with a 070-degree inbound course?
To determine the entry, subtract 70 from 250, which is 180 degrees. Since the inbound course is 070 degrees with right turns, the parallel entry sector is from

Question: What type of holding pattern entry is required if your inbound course to the holding fix is 250 degrees and the holding pattern is a standard right-hand turn holding at the fix with a 070-degree inbound course?
Answer options:
- Teardrop entry ✅ Parallel entry
- Direct entry
- Offset entry
Correct answer: Parallel entry
Explanation: To determine the entry, subtract 70 from 250, which is 180 degrees. Since the inbound course is 070 degrees with right turns, the parallel entry sector is from 0 to 70 degrees and from 180 to 250 degrees (relative to the inbound course). An inbound course of 250 degrees to the fix falls within the parallel entry sector relative to the holding inbound course.
